Principal ministrators of that school system. The also suit contends that Cox made the statements in tentionally and maliciously caus ing Henderson to be ridiculed, hated and disgraced in his com munity and that the allegations “impeached his reputation in his profession of school ad ministrator.” The statements, Henderson claims in the answer, caused him to experience diminuition in his professional reputation, a loss of confidence, anxiety and emotional and mental distress. Henderson is suing for $100,000. Cox has 20 days to respond. Cox originally sued Henderson, the Beaufort County Board of Education and the superintendent of the Beaufort County Schools claiming that his privilege of freedom of speech had been violated. He alleges that his transfer from Chocowinity High School to Aurora High School at the beginning of the 1984-85 school year was the result of his making statements against Henderson’s administration of Chocowinity during board of education meetings.

Because of the distance to the landfill in Silverhill, he said, people were us ing the roadsides. Caroon also addressed the sep tic tank issue, saying he understood that there would be no more permits issued in Lowland. “There’s not a septic tank in Lowland...that’s given any trou ble,” he commented. The regula tions devalue property and hinder development, Caroon commented. “Lowland has really had the short end of the stick,” he reiterated. Referring again to the lack of adequate water pressure for his business, Caroon said, “The water situation is crippling me. If it was Bayboro that needed the water, would you be able to find the funds?*’- > - • — • Commissioner Patsy Sadler in formed Caroon that an elevated water tank was to be placed on the Island and that it should increase water pressure. Commission chairman Brad Rice told Caroon he appreciated his concern and that the board was working to solve the water and septic tank problems. Bob Leal, representing a group of boat owners who appeared before the board six weeks ago, told the commissioners that he had understood that the board had instructed Bert Quay, a yacht broker who was a member of the group, and Randy Beeman, tax supervisor, to “get together and negotiate an equitable tax.” Leal said he was told Beeman had in dicated to Quay that he was satisfied with the valuations as determined by use of the Buck guide. Rice said his understanding was that Beeman would look at in dividual boats but that, overall, the board was satisfied with the valuations. Leal contended that the prices reflected in the Buck guide in clude a 10 percent broker’s fee and that boat owners should not be taxed on money they would not realize from the sale of the boat. Commissioner Louise Muse ask ed Leal, “What if you sold the boat yourself?” Leal replied that it was not often done. County attorney Bernard Hollowell pointed out that no deduction was made for the sales commission on cars and Muse ad ded that property taxes on a house are not lowered by the amount a real estate agent would charge for selling it. Beeman explained that the pric ing guide took condition, equip ment, and region into account when setting prices, that the low \ L REGISTER to win a CABBAGE PATCH DOLL OR A MURRAY TRACK BICYCLE.

He added that he did not say he wouldn’t work with Quay but that he could only discuss specific boats. “Overall, the Buck pricing guide Is the best on the market,” he commented. Leal said he still thought it un fair to assess a tax on what amounted to the broker’s fees and that telephone calls he had receiv ed indicated that Pamlico County valued boats higher than most other counties. Rice said that the board would continue to study the situation but could make no promises that valuations would be lowered. Tom Harrell of Carolina Ben chmark, the county’s engineering firm, presented several proposals to the board regarding the elevated water tank, informing them that the weight limitations of the Hobucken bridge would not hinder the project. The county has sold $253,000 in bonds to finance the project. No action was taken. Betty Mason, recreation depart ment director, appeared before the board to explain again the financing for the countywide recreation center. At the last meeting, some concern was ex pressed by the board that the county’s share of the costs was larger than they had thought it would be. Mason said that the total project will cost $86,500: $57,500 for the land; $17,000 to construct the ballfield; and $7,000 for site preparation with $5,000 in a con tingency fund. Purchase of the land will be made using $21,750 in county cash, the $7,000 donation from the town of Alliance and $28,750 in federal Land and Water Conservation Funds (LWCF). If enougi con tributions are received, the county could end up spending $6,000 less on site preparation and contingen cy since the LWCF would match contributions up tyo this amount.

If enough con tributions are received, the county could end up spending $6,000 less on site preparation and contingen cy since the LWCF would match contributions up to this amount; this would reduce the county’s cash share from $21,750 to $15,750, Mason said. Rice commented that he felt that the board had been misled regarding the amount of money __L_ the county would need to con tribute to the project, that he had believed It to De only $10,000 to $11,000. I The bpard will continue with the project. County manager Bill Rice in formed the board that presenta tions would be made Wednesday night, December 19, by the two ap plicants who are interested in r building a nursing home in Pamlico County. The first presen tation will be made at 7 pm with the second following at 8:20. On Thursday, the commissioners will hold a special meeting to discuss the applicants. Bill Rice told that board that the Eastern Carolina Health Systems Agency (ECHSA) suggests that the commissioners recommend an applicant. ECHSA will hear the proposals on January 9 in Craven County. 1 f Mem you and you* (omltto eitjwj a ., ue*y ViadUiMal j /ll • t . ^ Cloudinuid. doiny oCEtiietiiiKyftyou „ Cmbcdt! .
